Legal Question in Telecomm Law in Virginia

anonymous internet identity revealed

What recourse does one have if an ISP has given out their identity in response to a Subpoena Duces Tecum (civil) without notifying the user and allowing time for the user to move to quash? This appears to be a violation of Federal Code, Virginia Code and the ISP's own Privacy policy.

Regardless, they are required to comply with a court order. If I knew which ISP this is, I might be able to give you some options with them.
